Extended Family

Ainsley

Arvada, Colorado

Ainsley has a home with the Filatova family. This is what Tiffany sent, “Growing up, the dream of having one of Amy’s puppies was always a cherished desire of mine. When Amy approached me with a unique request, entrusting me with a special pup who happened to be deaf, I didn’t think twice before embracing the opportunity. Ainsley, born deaf, has seamlessly integrated into my life, and if it weren’t for the inability to call her by sound, I wouldn’t even notice the difference.

Ainsley, beyond being a unique member of our family, is truly exceptional. Her intelligence shines through as she effortlessly learned all her tricks in sign language. Her loyalty is unmatched, and the bond we share is something I wouldn’t trade for the world. Despite her being deaf, it doesn’t hinder her in the slightest. If anything, it adds a layer of uniqueness that makes her even more special and has profoundly humbled me.

In reality, while I may have saved Ainsley’s life by welcoming her into my home, I feel like it’s the reverse. She, in her own extraordinary way, has given me a new lease on life. Ainsley is not just a pet; she’s a blessing, a constant reminder that differences don’t diminish value but, instead, enhance the beauty of the connection we share. Her presence has not only enriched my life but has also taught me invaluable lessons about acceptance, resilience, and the true meaning of unconditional love.”

Radar

Nashville, Tennessee

Radar is loved by the Powell family in Tennessee. Kim writes, “Radar Red Dog is the heartbeat of our home. He is such a goofball and wicked smart (he has learned several things just by me asking him once or twice). I love how happy he is to get in the bathtub and stand still for a bath, and how much of a cuddler he has become. His absolute favorite activity, besides eating, is playing fetch. I can throw high floating soft frisbee tosses off of the second story deck and he will leap several feet in the air to catch them. It’s our favorite way to start the day. Or end it. Or fill some time any part of the rest of the day.”
